Re: is it possible to use REST API with HTML within Django?
I am not too concerned about anything being returned (JSON or otherwise),
it is just getting the command to the device. So for example, I have a DVR
connected to my webserver, the following is the REST API call:
def play(self):
"""
Convenience method to start playback.
"""
self.sendTransportCommandByDescription("Play Command")
which should simply start the DVR playback.

is it possible to use REST API with HTML within Django?
Hi, I am having trouble getting REST to work within Django. Has anyone succeeded in doing this? How do I embed REST API calls within the HTML that runs my webpage? I am trying to send "commands" to a device that is connected to my webpage and can do this outside of Django manually in a PowerShell window, but just within my HTML code.

Re: new user having trouble displaying images stored on local disk drive
Thanks, but my real problem turned out to be a missing comma after the
staticfiles_dirs entry. After adding it I was able to see files stored on
my hard drive.

trouble displaying images stored on disk drive
Hello, I am having trouble displaying images stored on my local disk drive. Displaying images pulled from the web work fine, it is only the local ones that are not showing up. I am developing in a Windows environment and am not using a production server yet - everything is on a single computer for now (as I thought that would make things easier as I am new to Python and Django). I am sure it is a simple configuration problem I am having, but I have not been able to track it down yet. I have the following in my settings.py file: MEDIA_ROOT = 'C:/djcode/images/' MEDIA_URL = 'C:/djcode/images/' STATIC_ROOT = '' STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATICFILES_DIRS = ( # Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static". # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows. # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths. "C:/djcode/images/" ) INSTALLED_APPS = ( 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.sites', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin: # 'django.contrib.admin', # Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation: # 'django.contrib.admindocs', ) Thanks for any advice or help in tracking down what my problem might be. evh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

new user having trouble displaying images stored on local disk drive
Working in a Windows environment without a production server - everything on one machine for ease of development (or so I thought). Can display images pulled from the web, but not any stored on local hard drive. Some of the relevant items in my settings.py looks like this: MEDIA_ROOT = 'C:/djcode/images/' MEDIA_URL = 'C:/djcode/images/' STATIC_ROOT = '' STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATICFILES_DIRS = ( # Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static". # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows. # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths. "C:/djcode/images/" ) Would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on what I am missing or doing incorrectly.
